Experts say a growing tendency for Japanese men to sit down and pee could be a sign that the gender gap is closing and affecting couples' sex lives, according to Sunday Mainichi (1/27).

Shocking reports late last year showed almost half of Japanese men urinated while sitting down in their toilets at home, instead of standing to piddle as is customary among males.

A survey of Japanese men in their 30s to 50s by Matsushita Electric Works revealed that 49 percent sit down to wee, a staggering threefold increase on the 15 percent who reported the same proclivity when the company first conducted the poll back in 1999.

“A 2004 survey showed there was clearly a growing tendency for Japanese men to sit while urinating," a Matsushita Electric Works spokesman tells Sunday Mainichi. "In response to that, our company in 2006 came out with the industry's largest toilet seats to make it easier for men to sit down and relieve themselves in comfort."
